Hey, all.
Obviously, there are hundred of B&W movies, let alone B&W horror movies. But Onibaba's cinematography feels, IMO, raw yet crispy at the same time. How did Shindo do this? Is it possible for a movie shot on digital to look like this or this is a claim only film could have?
Thanks.

Well, it certainly used to be film only, and that showed the art of making films on celluloid or other derivative media.
But nowadays (21st century) there's much more possible with digital filmmaking, so I guess that modern filmmakers could capture that raw/crispiness if they wanted to (instead of the usual CGI plastic smoothness).

Every Japanese '60s film I've seen has beautifully crisp, crystal clear B&W photography. I'd also like to know how it was achieved.
